calibration sources

Calibration sources are devices or materials used to ensure that measuring instruments are accurate and reliable. They provide known standards or values against which the performance of tools, such as thermometers or scales, can be tested and adjusted. For example, a calibration source for a thermometer might have a fixed temperature that is used to check if the thermometer gives the correct reading. Regular calibration helps maintain accuracy in measurements across various fields, ensuring consistency and trust in scientific data, industrial processes, and everyday applications like cooking or health monitoring.
